Washing your laundry

The first thing you need to do once you have
installed (*see pp. 32-34) your washing machine is

make sure that you have removed the
transportation bolts. This is crucial as you will

seriously damage your Washing Machine if you do
not do this. See page 32 to see how.

ONLY WHEN YOU ARE SURE YOU’VE REMOVED THE
TRANSPORTATION BOLTS, DO THE FOLLOWING:

1) Plug in you machine

2) Turn on the water supply

Note on using your Washing Machine for the first
time:

There may be water left inside your machine after factory tests and trials.

• The first time you run a wash cycle, you should not put laundry in
your machine as it needs to clear this water out.

o Pour half a measuring cup of normal or all purpose

detergent into compartment 2 in your detergent
dispenser drawer & select the cotton program for 90

_____________________________________________________

°

C.

Before Loading your Washing Machine:

• Separate your laundry between clothes of
different types (cotton, synthetic, sensitive,
woolen, etc.); the temperatures they need to
be washed at; and how dirty they are.

• Never wash your white and coloured clothes
together.

• Since your new coloured clothes may shed dye
on the first wash, wash them separately.

• Be careful that no metal pieces are in the
pockets of your clothes. There is the chance of
rust residues coming off and causing stains.

• Zip-up and button your clothes.

• Remove the plastic or metal

hooks of curtains or place them
inside a washing bag and tie.

• Pull textiles like trousers, knitted
fabric, T-shirts and sweatshirts
inside out.

• Wash small clothes like socks and
handkerchiefs in a washing bag.

• REMEMBER TO READ THE LABELS ON YOUR CLOTHES
BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO WASH THEM:

WASHING LABELS & THEIR MEANINGS

14

Loading your Washing
Machine

 Open the door of your washing machine.

 Load your clothes inside the drum one item at a

time and spread them about well.

 When you shut the door of your machine, be careful

that no pieces of clothing are jammed between the
door and the gasket seal.

 Shut the door of your machine tightly, otherwise

your machine will not start the washing process.

Filling your Washing Machine’s

Dispenser Drawer with Detergent

The amount of detergent you will need depends

on the following:

• You will need more detergent for washing cycles containing
dirtier clothes.

o For very dirty clothes, select a program with pre-

washing, fill compartment 1 with ¼ of the amount of the
detergent you are putting in compartment 2.

o For clothes that are only slightly dirty, do not pre-wash

and put only a small amount of detergent into
compartment 2 in your washing machine’s dispenser
drawer.

15

*NOTE:

Only use detergents for automatic washing machines. The

amount that you will need for different washing loads and
types will be written on the packaging of your detergent.

The harder the water in your area, the more detergent

you will need to use.

SOFTENERS

9 Fill the softener compartment in your detergent drawer

with softener. Do not exceed the MAX level.
Otherwise, the softener will diffuse in the washing
water through the siphon.

9 Softeners with high density (thick softeners) should be

diluted with water before filling the drawer. This is
because it will block the siphon and prevent the flow of
the softener.

LIQUID DETERGENTS

9 You can use fluid detergents in all programs without

pre-washing. For this, move the fluid detergent level
plate in the second compartment of the detergent
drawer and pour in the amount of fluid detergent
according to the levels on this plate.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING:

Please note: Before attempting any kind of maintenance or
cleaning on your washing machine:

9 Unplug your machine
9 Close the Water Tap

.

WATER INLET FILTERS

On the tap part of your machine’s water inlet hose and the ends of the water

inlet valves, there are filters to prevent dirt and foreign materials from getting
into the water.

* Note: If your Washing Machine cannot get enough water (even
though your water tap is open), it means that these filters will
need cleaning.

9 REMOVE THE WATER INLET HOSE (SEE DIAGRAM BELOW)
9 REMOVE THE FILTERS FOUND ON THE WATER INLET VALVES BY USING

PLIERS AND WASH THOROUGHLY WITH A BRUSH.

9 CLEAN THE FILTERS OF THE WATER INLET HOSES AT THE TAP SIDE BY

MANUALLY REMOVING THEM AND THE SEAL.

9 AFTER CLEANING THE FILTERS, FIT THEM BACK IN THE SAME WAY AS

YOU HAD REMOVED THEM.

_________________________________________________________

PUMP FILTER

The PUMP FILTER SYSTEM prolongs the life of your PUMP, which drains
away the dirty water. It also keeps lint from entering the pump.
You should clean your pump filter every 2-3 months.
To clean your PUMP FILTER, see the diagram and instructions on
the following page:

21

9 Remove the kick-plate by pushing it upwards with your hands

away from the lower securing claws and pulling it towards
yourself.

9 Before opening the filter cover, place a cup in front of the filter

cover to prevent flow of the remaining water in the machine.

9 Loosen the filter cover by rotating it anti-clockwise and drain the

water.

9 Remove the foreign materials and build-up from the filter.

9 Check that the pump can rotate with your hand.

9 After cleaning the pump, fit the filter cover back on by rotating it

clockwise.

9 Fit the kick-plate back into place, watching how the claws latch

into place, and push it closed.

* NOTE: Do not forget that if you do not fit the filter
cover properly, it will leak water!

22

Cleaning the Detergent Drawer

DETERGENT DRAWER

Detergents may form sediment in your detergent drawer or in the
housing of the detergent drawer over time.

• To clean the sediment, pull out the detergent drawer from time to
time.

To pull out the detergent drawer:

• Pull the detergent drawer to the end. (Diagram 1)

• Lift the front of the drawer and pull it out (Diagram 2)

• After the drawer has dried off, put it back into its housing the

same way you had pulled it out.

Cleaning the Siphon Plug

Pull out the detergent drawer. Remove the siphon plug and clean
the residues of the softener thoroughly. Fit the cleaned siphon plug
back in place. Make sure it is sitting properly in place.

23

Cleaning the Cabinet

9 Clean the exterior surface of your machine with lukewarm water

and a cleaning substance that will not harm or scratch the cabinet.
After rinsing with clean water, wipe it with a soft and dry cloth.

PLEASE NOTE: If your washing machine is installed in a
location where the ambient temperature can fall below 0 °C, do
the following (once before you know your machine will be unused

for a long time).

o Plug in your Washing Machine.
o Close the water tap and pull out the water inlet hose or hoses from

the tap.

o Place the ends of the water drain and water inlet hoses in a cup on

the ground.

o Set the Program Knob to ‘Draining’ program.
o The ‘Program Ready’ light will come on.
o Run the program by pressing the ‘Start/Pause’ button.
o Unplug your machine when the program is over (program end light

is on).

* When you complete this process, the remaining water inside the
machine will be drained. There will now be no danger of ice forming.
When you use your washing machine again, be sure that the ambient

temperature is above 0 °C.

Cleaning the Drum

*PLEASE NOTE: Do not leave metal parts like needles, staples or
coins inside your Washing Machine. These items cause rust buildup in
the drum. To clean these stains away, use a cleaning substance (that
doesn’t have chlorine in it) and follow the manufacturer’s guidelines.
Never use dish-washing wires or similarly rough objects.

*REMOVAL OF LIME FROM YOUR MACHINE

If you use the right amount of detergent in your washing machine,
there will be no need for lime removal. However, if you want to use
lime removers, please pay attention to their manufacturers’ warnings.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

YOUR WASHING MACHINE WORKS ON 220-240V & 50 Hz. IT COMES WITH ITS OWN
SPECIALLY MOULDED, EARTHED PLUG THAT HAS BEEN ATTACHED TO THE POWER
CABLE OF YOUR WASHING MACHINE. The plug must be inserted to an earthed socket
with 10 ampere. The fuse used in your plug must also be 10Amps. Should your electricity
supply not match these specifications, you should contact a qualified electrician to
accommodate this.

*WARNING! (PLEASE NOTE) Baumatic Ltd are not responsible for any damages arising out of
usage following failure to earth (ground) your appliance.

CONNECTING TO THE WATER MAINS

• Depending on your appliance’s features, it may operate with a single water
inlet (cold) or a double water inlet (hot/cold). THE WHITE-HEADED HOSE
IS FOR THE COLD WATER INLET / THE RED-HEADED HOSE IS FOR
THE HOT WATER INLET (but ONLY for machines with a double water inlet
system).

• To prevent leakage from the connection joints, a seal (for machines with
cold water inlet only) or seals (for machines with hot & cold water inlets) are
included in the hose packing. Fit these seals at the end of the water inlet
hoses on the tap side.

1) Connect the WHITE-HEADED HOSE to the WATER INLET VALVE with the
white filter & connect the RED-HEADED HOSE to the WATER INLET VALVE
with the red filer (this is only applicable to machines with double inlet
systems).

2) Tighten the plastic parts of the connections with your hand. Please call a
qualified plumber to ensure safer connections.
